Act Now - Data Ethics

Data ethics is increasingly relevant to the role of information professionals. Just because the processing of personal data is lawful does not make it fair or 'ethical'.

 

And indeed, where something is fair it does not always mean it is lawful. Whilst the UK GDPR gives us some structure for working out what is a fair and proportionate use of personal data (and thus ethical), there can be a wide range of issues outside of the law to consider.

This workshop will explore what the term 'Data Ethics' actually means, the role it plays in the use of personal data (and indeed other data) and what practical steps information professionals can take to embed and promote data ethics within their organisations.

From how to consider data ethics in DPIAs and sharing requests, through to embedding a practical data ethics framework in your organisation, we will pose questions, share experiences and best practice and where to find further guidance and support.

Who should attend?

Anyone with a role managing aspect of UK GDPR.

Anyone with a role working with ethics (data or otherwise)

Anyone with a role overseeing Data Protection Impact Assessments

Anyone with a role overseeing Data Sharing initiatives
